==Tips and Tactics==
 
*While assaulting the town, before triggering the building with the shielded [[KORD]] emplacement, try to get into houses on the left. One of them should let you climb up and slightly out of the map ( you'll get the warning but ignore it) and quickly jump over a small wall into the house diagonal from the HMG. Doing this with an assault rifle will let you have the same height as your attackers as well as a shorter distance to launch bullets and grenade rounds.

Preston Marlowe

Heavy Metal is the 7th mission in Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

This section contains spoilers for
Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

The squad starts along the road in an M1A2 Abrams, call sign Kodiak One, with several HMMWV's and M1A2 Abrams's on each side. With Preston at the wheel, they are told by the mission commander, Riverguard, to take out two ECM radar stations that are jamming radar signals for the A-10s when the tank reaches the intersection with another road. The first ECM radar is on a hill to the left and the second is further back to the right. Once both ECM radars are down, the tanks advance down the road, where they encounter two houses with 9M133 Kornet launchers mounted on top. One tank, Kodiak Four, is hit and immobilised, and the rest (including the squad's tank) return fire. Once the Kornets are down, Preston is told to commandeer a UAV-1 station, and then uses it to take out BMD-3 AA tanks and Kornet Launchers in a small town. Upon completion, Preston returns to the tank. The task force now advances towards the town, but is attacked by three BMD-3s. The task force swiftly destroys the tanks, but is attacked by three more as they advance upon a farmhouse, this time armed with Kornets as well as their main cannon. After destroying the tanks, the task force then advances towards a town, which is "full of TOW launchers." Preston is told to target four launchers using his binoculars, which A-10s then destroy with their GAU-8/A Avenger cannons. Once the last Kornet is down, the squad advance into the town on foot with the Marines, but witness Russian troops withdrawing from the wreckage of the town. They are then attacked by a KORD HMG, but Preston manages to destroy it quickly. However, as Bravo-Two breaches the house where Kirilenko was supposed to be, they find that he has disappeared. In the end cutscene, a US Marine informs the squad of a prisoner that knows where Kirilenko is, who agrees to share the info in return for his freedom. Redford lets him free, after the prisoner said that he had a family in Texas, and Redford requisitions some Marine HMMWV's to advance towards Kirilenko.
